I REPEAT Brooks Koepka won the PGA. LIV did not win the PGA. Brooks Koepka, the individual, won the PGA. LIV had less than nothing to do with it. Do not let them make you think otherwise. This is an individual achievement by a very talented player.

Net golf is fine for league purposes, tho shooting 32 and losing to a 9 that shot 40 isn’t all that fun. But net golf has no place in tournament play. Net golf punishes skilled players. It’s not leveling the playing field. It’s diminishing the work they put in to get good.

Empathizing with Brooks wasn’t something I expected in Full Swing, but here I am. It’s clear his head wasn’t in a good place, confidence is shot, and fear of not getting back to the top crept in. I get that. I think he made a fear based decision to go to LIV and he regrets it.

A year ago I had 3 followers (bots). I spent most of my time on Twitter getting mad about politics. I decided I wanted to make this a golf space. A happy place. Somehow 3000 of you weirdos have tagged along. I appreciate you all. Even the ones with which I disagree often.

I overheard a group of three junior golfers on the practice green yesterday making fun of another kid’s ability on the course. It really bummed me out and it’s probably not my place, but I feel like I should have said something.

I will play golf with almost anyone. But, if you're even remotely close to looking for this kind of confrontation on a golf course, I'll pass and wish you best of luck in life.
